Mr Little Jeans is Norwegian born Monica Birkenes and she transforms Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs" into a darker tune filled with swerving overdubs and layered vocals. Her take on the song sounds more like the minute and a half part of "The Suburbs" that Arcade Fire included at the end of their album.
Her vocals reflect the almost whispering and nonchalant voice of Win Butler, but instead of a quiet drum beat, Mr Little Jeans emphasizes the orchestration and adds her eerie synths with a haunting wail in the background.
Still, her voice and transformation shows her ability to know the music in its essence. Watch out for Mr Little Jeans debut full length album and catch her single "Oh Sailor."
For reference, I have included the Arcade Fire original version of The Suburbs.
